I wish I was like her
She broke the surface of the water with an almost perfect dive. Her feet were slightly apart taking one to two seconds away from her streamline.
 Ugh, I wish I was like her.
She took her first stroke halfway across the pool, already ahead of the others those seconds missed were made up.
Ugh, I wish I was like her.
The light on the screen read 17.74 almost the world record.
 Ugh, I wish I was like her.
When she arose from the water and took off her cap I could’ve sworn her hair was perfectly dry.
Ugh, I wish I was like her.
Soon after the races were done she hugged her teammates so tight as if they were all her besties.
Ugh, I wish I was like her.
So much of the time she walks the halls, surrounded by people who wish to be her.
 Ugh, I wish I was like her.
Her grades were perfect, and her smile was even better.
Ugh, I wish I was like her.
 Only if I was slimmer, prettier, more grown up, sweeter could I really be like her, and even then
I wish I was like her.
